Imagine a young girl, sitting in her dinning room with her loving family. She is about to partake in her mother’s famous lasagna, when suddenly, huge creatures burst into the room and grab the little girl and her family. The leering eyed creatures stuff the innocent family into cages, too small for their bodies, and shove them into vans. As the girl’s last days roll by she watches both herself and her family being treated like “tens of millions of animals hidden in laboratories on college campuses and research facilities being dissected, infected, injected, gassed, burned and blinded.” (“The truth about…
The experimentation on animals may be an iniquitous act to some people; conversely, some people might see it as a tool used to save many lives. Animal experimentation in the medical field has been useful in many ways. Scientists are able to take information learned from animals and make educated guesses about the human body’s functions and determine a person’s reaction to a drug.…
One of the questions facing society today is whether animals should be used in scientific experimentation. For many centuries people have experimented on animals. There are two main reasons for doing this: first, to find out…
For centuries, animals have been used in medical research. Since 1875, animal experimentation has been an on going debate on whether experiments…
Animal Experimentation by Peggy J. Parks describes advantages and disadvantages of animal research. This book explains one of the major social justice issue that is becoming controversial these days: Animal Rights. Scientists are trying to find new vaccines and medical products, but you cannot test them on humans right away. We cannot risk human’s life, but can we risk animal’s life? In 2005, the USDA reported that 1,177,566 animals were used in the laboratory, excluding mice, rats, birds, fish, etc. The scientists mostly failed to make new discovery, and even if they did, it was not effective because humans and animals are very different. Animals are also used in education, but some students and parents consider dissection of animals as teaching…
Margaret Lewin should keep Isaiah as a child for now in his life. When Isaiah gets older in life, and is able to understand knows the truth of the story he can choose to live with either his biological mother or adopted mother.…
experimentation is too complex to be used globally; but there are other means of animal…
Approximately, more than 115 million animals worldwide are used in laboratory experiments every year (Humane Society International, 2010). Animals, from the fruit fly to the mouse, are widely used in scientific research. Research is critical for the advancement of medicine, leading to increased chances of survival from diseases and improved strategies to prevent them. Without animal experiments, transplants, diseases, cancer, and vaccines would not have been advanced. The use of animals can be inevitable, particularly in conditions that require first-hand understanding of biochemical processes in and outside the body. Therefore, animals should be used for scientific research.…
Throughout the years of medical research, scientists have immorally exploited animals in the sense that they cannot decide for themselves. They have continually tested animals without the remorse of an animal having a life but only thinking of them as a prized possession; a toy easily thrown away. The truth about animal experimentation is that the world does not need…
“A procedure which is likely to cause … pain, suffering, distress, or lasting harm.” This is how the government defines animal experimentation (Spriet-Pourra). Many products are currently being tested on animals. They, however, do not prove to be very accurate at all. This is causing much money to be lost, along with countless animal lives. Innocent animals should not have to undergo the pain from the testing they undergo, nor death for a slight chance of an accurate test. Animal Testing must be banned because it harms innocent animals, proves to be in several cases inaccurate, and has several alternatives. Animal testing is unethical and should be outlawed.…
For years universities, pharmaceutics companies and medical schools have been using animals for experiments. I think that animal testing is unacceptable for various reasons.…
Imagine living inside a locked cage, having no control over any aspect of your life. You can’t choose your food, how your times spent, with who your times spent. Imagine sleeping in your own waste, filth and dirt. Imagine having your freedom and life taken away. Imagine your innocent self being forced to intake toxic chemicals, being poisoned, infected with drugs, burned and even cut. Did you do anything to deserve this cruel punishment? Well, neither have the animals tortured behind laboratory doors used for research and testing. These tests evaluate how toxic our consumer products may be. Other tests are for medical or physiological research. But Animal Testing isn’t just giving a mouse a pill to see what it does. It’s much more than that. Not only is Animal testing cruel, but with modern techniques it is completely unnecessary…
Animal testing is cruel, unnecessary, and disgusting. The results of most animal tests are rarely relevant to humans and are not reliable. It is unneeded in today’s society, considering our technological advancements. More accurate and scientifically superior methods are available, usually costing less and even being quicker to perform. There are methods such as using blood from human volunteers, using artificial human skin (proven by the National Cancer Institute to be a perfect substitute), human cell-based toxicity screenings, microdosing, etc.…
Each year in the United States, an estimated seventy million animals are hurt and killed in the name of science by private institutions, household products and cosmetics companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and scientific centers. Animal testing is wrong and downright mean. Innocent animals should not be treated badly and caused pain for the sake of a human 's safety. Many people think animal testing is good while others think it is wrong. I think it is completely and absolutely wrong. Some people argue that humans are not necessarily superior to animals, so why should animals be experimented on and made to suffer to protect human beings? Do you know what animal testing is, what condition the animals live in, and what some alternatives to testing animals are?…
